Basic Information:
-
Everybody must re-audition each year. The purpose: to re-engage and show the student's growth and commitment. Each year we lose our eighth graders because they age out of The Ensemble, leaving openings for new students.
-
Auditions for The Ensemble are typically in May or June for the coming school year.
-
We do not announce the show until we have chosen our group. The December show is announced in August, the May show is announced in December.
-
We hire professional choreographers to choreograph our shows.
-
We have a live accompanist at all of our rehearsals.
-
Every student is given 2 comps per semester for the show.
-
Included in your tuition are two T-shirts, one for each production
-
We do not recommend auditioning a cappella. We hire a live accompanist for our auditions. Please bring sheet music in your key, properly mark it, and put it in a binder.
-
Please bring a picture and resume to your audition with contact info on it. The picture does not have to be professionally done. A picture is typically 8 x 10, but again, it does not have to be 8 x 10.
